You would expect it to be a beautiful, sunny afternoon for a Mother’s Day game between your first place Gwinnett Braves and the Toledo Mud Hens. However, mother nature had other intentions, as the fourth game of the five-game series has been postponed until Monday. The G-Braves will be seeking their fifth straight victory when they next take the field. Gwinnett will also be looking to stay unbeaten against Toledo, as they are 6-0 versus the Mud Hens in 2012 heading into Monday’s twinbill.

Now, the G-Braves will end their current 11-game homestand with a doubleheader on the final day of it. First pitch for the first of two games is scheduled for 5:05 p.m. on Monday from Coolray Field. The second game of the double-dip will begin approximately 30 minutes after the first game ends.

Both games are scheduled to last seven innings. The International League South Division-leading G-Braves (23-13) will likely start right-hander Eric Junge (3-3, 3.09) in game one and left-hander Yohan Flande (1-2, 2.93) in game two. Toledo is slated to start the Detroit Tigers No. 1 prospect in the form of right-hander Jacob Turner (0-0, 0.00) alongside left-hander Casey Crosby (3-2, 4.55). Both games will be broadcast on WDUN 550 AM and 102.9 FM with Tony Schiavone calling the play-by-play.

Sunday’s Mother’s Day Diamond Dig has been rescheduled for Sunday, May 27, following Gwinnett’s 2:05 PM game against Rochester.

Monday is another Kids Eat Free night at Coolray Field, where all kids 12 and under will receive a voucher for a free hot dog, a bag of chips and a small soda.
